The ABI Sportmaster Premier Equestrian Edition is the ultimate arena groomer for English equestrian disciplines using footing with synthetic additives. Made exclusively with elite competitors and facility managers in mind, this arena drag offers tighter turns, on-the-fly component adjustments, and greater high-speed stability than any other large groomer on the market. With the Sportmaster’s agile turning hitch and base-protective ground engaging components, operators can hydraulically adjust, reset, and finish their footing to get the perfect consistency without ever leaving the seat of the tow vehicle. The proprietary auto-locking hitch automatically centers and locks once lifted, so you can get in and out of your arenas hassle free. The ABI Sportmaster is uniquely designed and outfitted to give you the ideal results needed to suit your specific arena—no matter what synthetic additives you’re working with. Best suited for 60 hp CAT I, 120 hp CAT II, or large 4-wheel drive facility tractors.
99” Width. 12 Month Commercial Warranty.
Built to withstand the daily rigorous schedule of elite equestrian competitions and training facilities, the Sportmaster is engineered to be a heavy-duty, durable arena drag perfectly suited to care for your synthetic footing. Ensure your desired consistency and an elegant finish to your arena surfaces, every time.
Get more exact precision and infinite control over the ground condition without having to leave the seat of the tractor. Built with on-the-fly hydraulic scarifiers, the Sportmaster allows you to adjust the feel and performance of the arena surface, ensuring greater fairness and consistency in between competition events. Make quick, easy adjustments for wear with the Sportmaster hydraulic flip-stop while always protecting your arena base and mats.
The Sportmaster’s auto-locking turning hitch makes it easy to get in, out, and around your facility. The durable, welded steel swivel hitch gives you the strength and mobility to make tight turns without displacing the footing material. Providing greater stability at high speeds, this swivel hitch enables operators to seamlessly move around obstacles or arenas with ease. Even transport between arenas is simple with the Sportmaster—just activate the hydraulic lift and the auto-locking turning hitch feature will center it to protect your surface finish for the next event. To move between facilities, the Sportmaster comes with built-in forklift pockets to help lift and load the drag onto a truck for stress-free transportation.
